Sydney Sweeney and her assiduous lifestyle are not news to her fans. Last month, the actress launched her “Love Letter by Sydney Sweeney” collection with Frankies Bikinis and attended the premiere of her anticipated film Reality, which will soon be in theaters near you. But, another good news for her fans is that yet another project of the actress recently saw its premiere.

The Euphoria actress has been working on her Tony Tost-directed Americana for a while now. The film was set to premiere at the South by Southwest, or SXSW, the film festival. While the rest of the cast was there for the premiere of the film, the Spokane native could not make it due to her busy schedule. However, she sent her best wishes to the cast and crew through an Instagram story. She wrote, “so bummed I can’t be there but sending all my love and support to this special cast and crew.”

Penny Jo is apparently the name of the character the Everything Sucks actress plays in the film. She is a waitress who is on a journey to steal a valuable artifact and meets other people with the same mission on her way. Most importantly, Jo’s character has a stutter in the film; hence, the 25-year-old actress had to work a lot on that.

The chaos in the film ensues as a gang of people tries to grab the shirt. The film is a dark comedy thriller that chronicles the trip of these individuals trying to steal the garment, which is a fabled Native American artifact.
